Spring is approaching...slowly

The bulbs we planted back in October are growing very well, and I am looking forward to seeing some flower buds. We did not do much in the border at the front of the house last year, but hopefully we should have various types of flowers blooming from the end of February till the middle of summer.


So, to complement the yellow rosebush, lupin, grassbush and heathers that we planted last year, we have planted:

- snowdrops
- crocuses
- tulips
- irises
- anemones
- mixed aliums (nigrum, purple sensation, sphaerocephalon, chrisophii, bulgaricum)



And this is how it looked two days later:


And on Thursday 5th Feb:
Ironically, the only bulbs which haven't sprung yet are the snowdrops!
